Once Upon A Cowboy Christmas by Soraya Lane

Author:  Soraya Lane
Release Date:  October 29, 2019










This story took my Forever!! Not because it was awful, but because November was a busy month for me. Geez.! Why can't I just read books day in and day out? Why do I have to be an adult?!! Okay, enough about my problems, let's jump into this review. I got back to my favorite type of hero with this story and you probably guessed it, right?  Cowboys!! Not only is he a cowboy, but he is one with deep pockets and he gets a second chance at love, which is also my fav.!!

At the first chance of leaving his small town in Texas, Cody could not leave fast enough.  Trying to escape the slow wither of his dying mother, Cody leaves for college and doesn't look back.  In the crossfire is Lexi and she is hell bent on holding a grudge against the boy who skipped town and crushed her heart. Ten years later, Cody is home for the holidays and Lexi is his dad's nurse.  Cody's dad has cancer and he is basically bed ridden and Lexi is his home nurse.  Their past tests their present and Cody has to decide whether to face his past head on or to run away from it like the first time.  I liked Cody and Lexi together and I adored Lexi's son.  The family dynamic was sweet and Cody wasn't the rugged cowboy, but he was business savvy and knew how to get his hands dirty.  The death of Cody's mother was a hart hit for him and he has been running away ever since.  Lexi is a single mother and is given a helping hand by the Ford family and she is a strong character with a huge heart being that her mother is sick as well.  I loved them together and I was so happy about how things unfolded.

The family dynamic narrative carried this story and I really adored Walter, Cody's father.  The tender love that Lexi had for her son really touched me and I really felt for her.  I was so excited when Cody finally faced his past and came to his senses. Thank the Heavens for that because he already screwed up once, Big time.


I really don’t have much negative things to says besides the ending feeling unfinished, which is a minor thing and not much to lose hair over.  Another thing is the switching of the POVs.  It switches from Lexi and Cody's simultaneously and it kinda bothered me, but it didn't pull me from the story too much.  This is a sweet Christmas story about a second chance at love and a cowboy coming home. Grab some tea or hot cocoa because I definitely recommend it.!!

Riding Hard by Laura Landish

Author:  Laura Landish Release Date:   March 26, 2019 What is it about quiet, broody cowboys that drives us women wild?   Is it the foul mouth or the panty dropping tone?   Whatever it may be, it is in this book.   I think I lost my religion while reading this book because it was so dirty. Grrrr.!!   My inner cheetah, yes cheetah because they are my favorite cat, came out… 😻I mean Wow.!! Okay let’s get to the meat of this cowboy stew shall we. This is book 2 of the Bennett Boys Ranch series and this one is about the quiet, broody older brother, Mark.   I was so excited to read his story because he was so mysterious and who doesn't want to see a cowboy fall in love.   Hopefully you have read book 1 because I am about to drop a spoiler.   Okay…Mark's younger brother James from book 1 is getting married at   resort outside of town and this is where Mark meets Katelyn, an event coordinator.   Now I will not go too deep into the story, but Mark and Katelyn's

Jackson by Emily March

Author:  Emily March Release Date:  June 25, 2019 Right from the start this book grabbed me and I have never been so happy to be held hostage.  This book was wonderful and it made me feel so alive.  This is the feeling that I get when I read a good book and I just want to lay here and bask in its glory.  The romance, the drama, the rawness, and the superb writing hit every mark for me.  I have read one other book by this author and it was titled A Kiss of Spring and that was a 5 star read for me as well.  The writing flowed like water within a river bank and the characters were so charming and likeable.  I just finished reading this like 1 hour ago and I had to get my thoughts on paper ASAP.  I got that warm gooey feeling and that is sure sign that I am in love with this book.  Enough of my praising and blushing, now let me tell you about this story. If you are like me and started in the middle of the Eternity Springs Series, you have found a safe place because even t
